Patna,(BiharTimes): The state president of Janata Dal (United) Vashistha Narayan Singh said on Sunday that by making a series of populist announcements chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi is creating a situation in which it would become very difficult for any government in future to govern. Addressing a joint Press conference at his residence he said that Manjhi had made announcements worth Rs 50,000 crore though not making any mention as to from where would the fund come.

Once again accusing prime minister Narendra Modi for whatever is happening in Bihar he went on to say that both governor, Keshri Nath Tripathi, and BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi are speaking in the same language. Did governor speak to Press in such a way?

The joint Press conference was also addressed by the state leaders of the RJD, Congress and CPI.The state president of the Rashtriya Janata Dal, Ram Chandra Purve, asked as to how is Manjhi being allowed to take all these cabinet decisions when the governor himself had asked him to prove his majority on the floor of the House. This means that the governor is not sure about Manjhi’s majority. If it is so how can the governor address the joint sitting of Assembly and Legislative Council on Feb 20, just before Manjhi seeks trust vote.

He accused RSS and Narendra Modi of playing dirty politics in the state. Purve urged the governor to immediate call the ‘leader’ of the JD(U)LP Nitish Kumar to form the government as Manjhi had already lost his majority.

The president of the Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee, Ashok Chaudhary, charged that Manjhi had done virtually nothing for the Mahadalits and is using their name just for the sake of power. He also asked as to whose speech would the governor read on February 20 when the government is already in the minority.

The CPI leader, on the other hand, said that Manjhi had not given a single decimal decimal of land to any Dalit in the last nine months though he repeatedly claimed that he had increased the allotment of land for the homeless from three decimals to five decimals .
